The doctor herself is very mannered and able to connect to you as a friend more than anything. She explains everything in detail and makes you feel very comfortable. I came in extremely irritated with what was going on within mybody and here I am a few days later cleared of it. Unfortunately I did have to wait over an hour before seeing her.

Going in I was initially nervous from bad experiences with " Cold" doctors with terrible bedside manner . But she really made me feel comfortable and that she genuinely cared . Which makes the anxiety from taking a trip to the doctors extremely less. Very sweet smart lady

She seems like a wonderful person and has great bedside manners. However, there was no follow-up with her and the office scheduled a follow-up appointment without my knowledge. I need a primary care physician that can help me manage my physicalhealth and just did not get that understanding from her.

She was really really great, however the appointment I was there for (a dermatology consult) was not what I got unfortunately. The website showed that I could make an appointment with her specifically for that reason, and the front staff askedme a couple of times my reason for visit and was surprised to hear about dermatology. If I knew it wasn't commin to go there for a den consult I would have just asked my primary care physician for a referral to an actual dermatologist. She definitely was so sweet and kind, however I didn't get what I signed up for unfortunately.

Dr Arabella is very competent, attentive, kind, and sweet. She listen all our issues, explain and clarify everything, our symptoms, possible causes, test results and advices. I just came from Brazil and was concerned about visit a Doctor fromanother country, but she made me feel comfortable and confident. She is also very patient with my difficulty speaking English.

Long wait but one of the best doctors I have ever been to. She helped me out when no one else would at a reasonable price. *Warning, before I begin this review is not intended to tip off pill shoppers?? asI think they are called to call her office and waste this excellent doctor's time*. Other primary care doctors accused me of trying to do this because I have had seizures w/ proof since my early twenties and prior to that I was diagnosed with ADHD at a young age. Soooo I have a very interesting prescription chart that makes most doctors refuse to even consider prescribing me medication even though I need it. Once they invent an ADHD drug that works for me (Straterra does) but has some nasty side effeects. I will gladly take it. I went to 2 doctors before she was willing to help me out before I moved to Oregon and she prescribed the medications that my former neurologist from Kaiser Permanente recommended, as well as, a stopgap measure for my ADHD. I know have a neurologist and primary care doctor that agree with her evaluation in Oregon. She gave me just enough medication (not too much, not too little) to make it to Oregon and start a new life. I recommend her because she really listened and understood that I was in a tough spot and and SHE ACTUALLY CARED!!!

I have never had such a warm welcome and thorough check-in from a doctor! She asked all the right questions and gave some sound advice. Her positive persona was so refreshing! I am more than happy to have found my new doctor ;)

I like Dr Sarkis but the wait times in her surgery are unacceptable. I have arrived for a 2:30pm appointment and left at 5pm before. No doctor is worth that wait, unfortunately, and her front desk staff leave a lot ofbe desired on the manners front. It's a shame, as I love Dr Sarkis herself.

Everyone was extremely nice. Unfortunately there were a few too many interruptions. Rather than focus on just me, she was interrupted several times by her nurse. I had to ask the nurse twice for the lab slip for blood work. Herresponse was "Are you sure you are not getting it confused with the other patient we were talking about?" I also had to call the office the next day to remind someone to phone in my prescriptions.

She's a wonderful sweet caring doctor. Great new offices and change of staff is working great as well. Still a bit of a wait, but well worth it. Talking with other patients while waiting (20min), it's obvious she's there when youneed her no matter the hour. That's something I never had with other doctors and why I'm keeping her as long as I can (but hope I don't need her).

I've lived in several states and, therefore, have had numerous primary care physicians. Dr. Sarkis is by far my favorite. She actually spends times with her patients to ensure you understand what is taking place, what a medication will do, whymedication A instead of medication B, and she also offers recommendations that enhance and supplement medications.
